Automotive Machining - A Guide to Boring, Decking, Honing and More

Classic and older engines typically require extensive machining and almost every major component of engine, including block, heads, intake, crankshaft, and pistons, require some sort of machining and fitment.
A detailed, authoritative, and thorough automotive engine-machining guide for the hard-core enthusiast has not been available until now. Mike Mavrigian, editor of Engine Building Professional, walks you through each important machining procedure.

A stock 300-hp engine build has far different requirements than a 1,000-hp drag race engine, and Mavrigian reveals the different machining procedures and plans according to application and engine design. The author also shows you how to inspect, measure, and evaluate components so you can provide astute guidance and make the best machine work choices.
Machining procedures included are cylinder boring, align boring/honing, decking, valveseat cutting, cam tunnel boring, and a multitude of other services. In addition, multi-angle valve jobs, setting the valveseats, altering rocker arm ratio, re-conditioning connecting rods, and machining and matching valvetrain components are also covered.

Repairing and Restoring Classic Car Components

On modern cars, damaged components are regarded as items to be thrown away and replaced. Spares are readily available, and the high cost of labour makes repair uneconomic for commercial garages. But for a classic car the story is quite different.

This book - expertly written and clearly illustrated - shows the enthusiast how to rescue, repair and restore old components. It will be indispensable to people wanting to keep a restored car on the road as well as those undertaking a full rebuild.

Screwcutting

A guide to the theory and practice of threads and thread-making, whether that is threading a hole using hand tools or cutting a thread using a lathe. The book covers details of the major threadforms, such as metric, Whitworth and Unified threads, as well as the British Association (BA) and Model Engineering (ME and MME) series, the smaller metric and Unified threads, pipe threads, and specialist threads such as ACME, trapezoidal and RMS microscope threads.

Techniques for making threads manually, as well as screwcutting in the lathe are also covered.
As well as covering the basics of screwcutting, this book examines higher-level and advanced techniques, using case studies to demonstrate what can be achieved - fine, accurate and well-finished work.

Which Oil? - Choosing the Right Oils & Greases for Your Antique, Vintage, Veteran, Classic or Collector Car

If you own a classic car, you face the problem of choosing the appropriate lubricants to use in its engine, gear box, final drive and chassis. The original owner's handbook, if you have one, is probably of limited use. The lubricants that it lists are probably no longer available, or not of the original performance or specification level.

Even if you have some good information, you still have problems: are modern oils suitable? If yes, which ones? (Even within a single brand there may be five or six different oils sold for apparently the same purpose.) If no, then why not? What characteristics are unsuitable, and where do you turn to obtain an appropriate oil?

This book gives all owners the information that will allow them to understand the lubrication needs of their cars, and to relate those needs to modern lubricants.
You will be able to make correct and safe choices, or to seek out appropriate specialised lubricants if necessary, using step-by-step instructions. Answers are also given to many of the most commonly-asked questions about suitable oils for classic cars.

Kutschenlack, Asphaltschwarz & Nitroglanz - Fahrzeuglackierung zwischen 1900 und 1945

When reconditioning technical components or the interior, examining the materials originally used is now a matter of course and is sufficiently documented in the literature. However, there has been a huge gap on the subject of vehicle paints.

This book reproduces the doctoral thesis "Geschichte, Werkstoffe and Techniken der Fahrzeuglackierung zwischen 1900 and 1945", with which the graduate restorer Dr. Gundula Tutt not only wrote the most comprehensive reference work on vehicle paintwork in the pre-war period, but also laid the foundation for her career as the most knowledgeable paint expert and one of the best-known classic car restorers.

This book is a must for anyone who is involved in the restoration of historic vehicles: In a language that is understandable even for laypeople, it provides over 380 pages of practical assistance for the preservation and restoration of historic vehicles and provides deep insights into an area of classic car restoration that, despite its obvious role, has so far received little attention.
